Abstract: SMEs are important in Malaysia because they form the bulk of all establishments in the country and are predominantly domestically owned and managed. The objective of this paper is to examine the innovative capabilities of SMEs and their level of innovation by applying an ordered probit model. The results suggest that for SMEs, competition is a key driver of innovation. In addition, younger and medium-sized firms tend to be more innovative relative to older, smaller firms.
